    I think … the bag is nicer than curtain! Good choice!

    I love this style of purse—messenger-bag-like, but more feminine and less casual. Bravo! Curious about what you used for interfacing or stablizer. Also, please check out my projects—all purses!

      i made the pattern myself by folding a piece of fabric, and cutting out shapes on the fold line. it was a lot of trial and error until i got the exact shapes i wanted, but it was worth it in the end!
